This Heatsink is stocked as a heat dispersion solution for the common A4988 Stepper Motor Drivers, to help reduce heat and protect the drivers from thermal damage. It is the perfect size to simply fit onto the top of a stepper motor driver like the A4988, and comes with thermal tape included so that all you need to do is peel off the plastic sheet covering the tape and stick it directly atop the driver.

The heatsink utilises passive heat dispersion, with 5 fins to radiate the heat away from the unit. This is vital if you are using your drivers for extended periods of time, as they not only protect the components from overheating and thermal runaway, but also allow the drivers to work even better – with some of our customers even including a small fan in their designs and overclocking their drivers.
